Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States, released the following statement on Michael Vick's signing with the Philadelphia Eagles:

"Michael Vick admits that what he did to dogs was cruel and barbaric, but now that he has served his time, he wants to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. He has pledged to make a long-term commitment to participate in our community-based outreach programs to steer inner-city youth away from dogfighting. At events with Michael in Atlanta and Chicago, we've seen him deliver a powerful message against animal cruelty. Like so many other major American cities, Philadelphia has a serious dogfighting problem, and groups like the Pennsylvania SPCA have excellent programs to combat dogfighting locally. We have not had any discussions with the Philadelphia Eagles and the team did not consult animal welfare groups about its decision, but we look forward to working together to combat the dogfighting problem in Philadelphia and nationwide. "

I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, tomorrow doesn't look good either.

It seems no one outside of the dog world realizes how insane this group is and what their real agendas are.

They picked that name on purpose, in a deliberate move to confuse people into believing that they are the parent organization of their local Humane Society.

They are animal rights extremists on par with Peta and ALF.
